ENTERTAINMENTS.

SKATING. There was a fair attendance at Municipal Skating Rink on Tuesday night, when a most enjoyable night’s “rolling” was spent by those present. This fascinating pastime still remains popular and nearly every night some newcomer may be seen trying to learn the art of roller skating. The majority of this season’s learners may now be seen in the big hall, and give promise of becoming very graceful skaters. The rink will be open to-night and tomorrow night. There is a little dissatisfaction expressed among the gentlemen skaters in reference to not being allowed to put their own skates on in the dressing room, and as it was allowed only a lew ui o ui,s Davie u is not a fair thing to stop it now. No doubt this could be remedied it the gentlemen skaters formed in a body and approached the manager in reference to same. If this was done the male patrons attending the rink would know exactly what to do, as it is very unsatisfactory to them the way things are at present.

PICTURE SHOW. The programme for Saturday night is right up to expectations, and contains a good assortment of instruction, interesting stories and real good fun. One of the dramas, “ The Baby and the Stork” is the story of how a new baby arrives in the home and Bobby is told that the stock at the Park brought it, and Bobby soon realises that' the new baby is everything, and he is left out in the cold. So one day be determines to return the baby to the stork, and forthwith carries out his purpose. Meanwhile the parents are wild with anxiety oyer the loss of the little one. How it is discovered and returned to the parents, the story will show. A really splendid subject is “ Won by Wireless ” as a most interestiny and rare subject, showing the wonderful wireless system. A very pretty novelty film, “ Tresses and Curls” is sure to please all who see it. A pretty scenic film will show some picturesque sports in the North of Wales. The comics are some of the best yet. “ Father’s Dress Suit ” and “ The Fair Dentist ” are simply gales of laughter. Come and see them.
